Comment Re:why do we need generic top level domains anyway (Score 1) 198

I think I'd prefer (there are probably issues that haven't occurred to me) if there were no generic top-level domains at all, only country codes. I realize why they exist, I just find them redundant and also slightly confusing especially outside the US; .com/.net/.org and several others are world-wide but .edu/.mil/.gov are US-only AFAIK. The distinction between .com, .net, and .org doesn't seem very clear either, if there even is one nowadays apart from aesthetics.

On the other hand, the current system works Good Enough so it probably won't and maybe shouldn't change.

Hmm, I suppose you're using an older version and IE11 has actually improved then, as the one thing where IE definitely isn't slow is startup; the window opens almost instantly. There's also no noticable difference in the time it takes to open msn.com between IE11 and Firefox 26 on my system (not much longer than one second, which frankly is good enough for me. Of course it's also possible that you're just more sensitive about such issues than I am.)

Could you give an example of a site where IE seems slow? I mostly use Firefox but very occasionally try IE (11), and I don't notice any speed difference. I also check out Chrome every now and then, its performance doesn't seem any different compared to Firefox or IE either.

I don't like the font rendering in IE though; fonts look very different compared to Firefox and are harder to read.
